Dwejra Inland Sea, Lagoon with natural arch in Dwejra, Malta
The Inland Sea extends 119 meters in length and 81 meters in width, connecting to the Mediterranean through a limestone tunnel stretching over 80 meters.
The lagoon formed through geological processes where a fault in the limestone created a sea cave that eventually underwent structural collapse over time.
Local fishermen store their traditional Maltese boats called luzzijiet along the stony beach, maintaining a connection to the maritime heritage of Gozo.
The lagoon offers swimming opportunities in its shallow waters averaging 2 meters deep, while boat tours transport visitors through the natural tunnel.
The tunnel floor descends in a series of natural shelves, reaching depths of 35 meters where it opens to the Mediterranean Sea.
Elevation above the sea: 31 m
